It's perspectives and situations that make this conversation so complexing, such and agree completely. It comes down to compromise and even then, there must be adjustments for those who don't have the ability to make those compromises.
Raven, your kids sound pretty darn cool! Those who think it can not be done need examples such as your children to inspire. Right now, I'm trying to convert my back yard into a garden but vegies are kinda hard b/c I live in Florida so, the heat and rain can be difficult to work with. Fruit, on the other hand, well let's say, I already have 10 pineapples that will be ready to harvest in the summer yummy. And I will never really be out of tangerines or oranges or lemons!!
